Student Volunteers How to get involved to protect smiles and prevent decay.

THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT THE ORAL HEALTH OF OUR NATION'S KIDS!

We have many engaging and fun ways for students from elementary school through high school to help improve the oral health of kids in need. Let's find the opportunity that's right for you! Scroll through the options below:

SMILE DRIVE

Some kids don't have their own toothbrush or share one with a family member. Smile Drive is a fun way to collect dental hygiene products for kids in need in your own community!

We have everything you need to hold a successful Smile Drive. Getting started is easy:

  • Step 1: Register your Smile Drive
  • Step 2: Collect toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and rinse (just like a canned food drive.)
  • Step 3: Donate your collection to schools or community organizations that serve low-income children.
  • Step 4: Report your results to add to our nationwide tally!

To hold a Virtual Smile Drive, click the button below and select "I want to fundraise for this". The donations you collect online will help us provide toothbrushes for kids in need across the country!

FUNDRAISE FOR AMERICA'S TOOTHFAIRY

Did you know that 1 in 5 kids don't go to the dentist each year? Many of them have painful cavities that need treatment but their families can't afford to pay for it.

America's ToothFairy provides grants so these kids can get the dental care they need to end their pain and have healthier smiles!

  • Raise $500-$1000 to help one child get the dental care they need.
  • Raise $2,500-$5,000 to help hundreds of kids protect their teeth from decay.

We have all the tools you need to make your fundraiser a success including event ideas, custom online donation pages and text-to-give codes.

RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT ORAL HEALTH IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Childhood tooth decay is Public Health Enemy #1 in America! In order to stop decay, we must triumph over three barriers: beliefs, behaviors, and environmental influences.

To make an impact in all of our nation's communities, we need Oral Health Action Heroes to step up to join the fight!

Complete oral health projects and help families learn how to take care of their teeth through our HERO Program (Health Education Resources + Outreach).

EARN YOUR SCOUT PATCH

Join thousands of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts across the nation who have earned their free patches by learning more about how to protect their smiles from decay and teaching their communities about proper oral health.
